Rabada Nortje,Umesh,Avesh is enough pace bowling 

I don’t think Umesh got a single appearance in the first iteration of this year’s IPL, but I may be wrong. Woakes can provide some handy runs with the bat.

2-3 players pulling out of IPL means ECB is beating BCCI? Wtf :laugh: 

 

Why are you so dramatic and overreacting all the time? :laugh:

No poms please. They will ditch teams as they please.

There are litetally 10 other English players participating including the captain Morgan.

 

Its clear these are test players who may have to spend time in an intensive bio bubble environment in Australia for the ashes. 

 

They are choosing to spend 3 weeks with their families.

These guys are T20 league specialists, doubt they will turn down a chance to play in the IPL

After confirming their availability to the franchises just a couple of weeks back? That's totally unprofessional behaviour. Not the first time this has happened. Best for IPL teams to stay away from poms

People are allowed to change their minds. The situation with regards to the ashes (and immediate families being allowed) is fluid and continues to be so.

Absolutely nothing has changed between yesterday and today. This is sheer dishonesty and unprofessional behaviour. We have seen this with Lankan players earlier which resulted in teams largely ignoring them. 

 

With Buttler, Stokes (his personal situation notwithstanding) and now these three not available, English players will see similar cold response from the franchises.

Maybe they were waiting for the series to end before announcing their decision and waiting for the ashes picture to be clear.

 

Sri Lanka is a small economy. Sky sports is actually the highest bidder for the IPL outside India. Only time will tell if they are dropped or sidelined.

 

Sri Lankan players not being picked is more to do with them being poor. Most IPL franchises want foreign pace bowling allrounders and power hitters. Mathews is now past it. So nobody left.
